FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND: New Album Details Revealed

On Tuesday, February 5, 2013, The End Records will release “Conduit”, the highly anticipated sixth studio album from U.K. post-hardcore veterans FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND.

“Conduit”, the follow-up to 2011’s critically acclaimed “Welcome Home Armageddon”, an album which saw the band approach their music with renewed vigor following the addition of new members Gavin Burrough and Richard Boucher, belts out a tightly wound collection of tracks, bursting with emotion and personal conflict but also full of commentary on the inner workings and experiences of an established band. It’s the sound of a band growing and progressing both as a unit and individually.

Again with producer Romesh Dodangoda (MOTÖRHEAD, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, LOSTPROPHETS) at the helm, the album’s opening track “Spine”, a song handling the issue of intense pressure and overcoming tough obstacles in your life to achieve a sense of personal fulfillment, hope and love, will go for radio adds beginning December 17.

Earlier this year the group tapped director Ryan Mackfall of Team Crashburn (FOUR YEAR STRONG, SHARKS, FOXY SHAZAM) to direct the video for “Best Friends And Hospital Beds”. Set in a bleak and derelict landscape, the song revolves around themes of friendship and death.

The End Recordshas assembled the ultimate FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND fan package! The exclusive limited edition boxset contains the new album “Conduit”, an exclusive second disc “Live From The Roundhouse”, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND t-shirt, signed poster, cassette version of the album and booklet featuring handwritten notes from all the band about the album. Additionally, the label is taking pre-orders for a limited edition run of 12-inch gatefold splatter color vinyl. All orders will come signed and numbered, strictly limited to 500 copies.
